150 MHz polymer resonator for optoacoustic mesoscopy based on a tapered optical fiber
. Imaging experiments yielded 7 µm axial and 17 µm lateral resolution, with high fidelity performance that surpassed piezoelectric and state of the art optical detectors. This combination of broad bandwidth, artifact free imaging, and manufacturability makes the detector ideal for optoacoustic mesoscopy (OptAM) applications.
